ARCH TUNES CHICAGOLAND’S MUSIC VENUES CONNECTION
Up-Coming Concerts
Vampire Weekend
July 17
at Pitchfork
Though Chicago is known more
for its abundance of neighborhood festivals than free
concert series,
Pitchfork and the
Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs have again put
together a free lunch series of concerts that features some
really nice acts.
The summer series runs from
mid-June through the end of August and takes place at
Millennium Park's beautiful Pritzker Pavilion. Every Monday
starting June 16th -- minus the weekend before and of the
Pitchfork
Music Festival -- a different band will be playing
during Chicago's lunch hour. Seems like I'll be able to
break away from the "man" for an hour or so and catch some
really good music on a Monday. Bonus!
Follow the jump for the list
of bands and dates...
"Audible Architecture:
Chicago Nightclubs at Noon" will kick off at 12:15pm at
the Pritzker Pavilion on the following Mondays...
6-16

"I really dig that these
events are being supported by the great small venues Chicago
boasts."
